The cause of the 1960 New York Air Disaster as you provide at http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/1960-New-York-air-disaster is incorrect.
The official probable cause as found at http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19601216-1&lang=en is as follows:
PROBABLE CAUSE: "United Flight 826 proceeded beyond its clearance limit and the confines of the airspace allocated to the flight by Air Traffic Control. A contributing factor was the high rate of speed of the United DC-8 as it approached the Preston Intersection, coupled with the change of clearance which reduced the en route distance along Victor 123 by approximately 11 miles."
